Amplicon deep sequencing improves <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> genotyping in clinical trials of antimalarial drugs (Publications)
Clinical trials monitoring malaria drug resistance require genotyping of recurrent Plasmodium falciparum parasites to distinguish between treatment failure and new infection occurring during the trial
Sustaining LLIN coverage with continuous distribution: the school net programme in Tanzania (Publications)
Most malaria-endemic countries have struggled in the past decade to establish effective national-scale continuous distribution mechanisms for long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). Since the implementation

Perceptions on the effect of small electric fans on comfort inside bed nets in southern Ghana: a qualitative study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are known to be highly effective in reducing malaria transmission, morbidity and mortality. However, among those owning an LLIN, use rates are often
2-Octadecynoic acid as a dual life stage inhibitor of <em>Plasmodium</em> infections and plasmodial FAS-II enzymes (Publications)
The malaria parasite Plasmodium goes through two life stages in the human host, a non-symptomatic liver stage (LS) followed by a blood stage with all clinical manifestation of the disease. In this study

The cost-effectiveness of permethrin impregnated bednets in preventing child mortality in Kassena-Nankana district of Northern Ghana (Publications)
bednets are now being widely promoted as an effective means of protecting African children against malaria, but there is little evidence of their cost-effectiveness. The impact on child mortality of introducing
